1.
What is a proctor?
A proctor is someone who administers a test. The proctor must be associated with
some kind of educational institution, such as another college, university or
local school. Work places, even if the work place itself is an educational
institution, are not acceptable for proctoring due to a conflict of interest.
For the same reasons, the proctor cannot be someone with a personal history with
the student. The student must contact potential proctors and obtain general
contact information if the proctor agrees to administer their exams.

Military Personnel can use an education center/coordinator. If this option is
not available, you may use a reporting officer.

2. Do I need a proctor?

You may need a proctor if your instructor
requires that you take your exams in a secure
testing environment. If you live in the Greater
Lansing Area you can test at the Main Campus
Course Testing Center, West Campus Student
Services, Livingston County Center, or LCC North
(by appointment only).

If you live outside the Greater Lansing Area and
would like to test off campus, then you will
need to locate a proctor to administer your
exam(s).

3.
How do I setup a proctor?

To set up a proctor, contact someone at your local educational
institution. If someone is willing to proctor your exam, get his or her
name, phone number and email address. Make sure to ask if the proctor
charges a fee for services. Fees are the responsibility of the student.

Once you have the proctor's information please enter the information on
the Proctor Request Form or contact the
Testing Support Office at (517) 267-5503 and provide us with the
information. We will confirm everything with your proctor choice.

If your proctor choice is accepted, we will send a confirmation to your
email address letting you know everything that you will need to do. If it is
not, we will contact you and advise you as to how to obtain a proctor who
will work.

You must re-new your proctor every semester by contacting the
Testing Support Office at (517) 267-5503. There is a proctor deadline in
which your proctor needs to be set up by each semester that every student
should follow.

4. How will I
know that my proctor request has been approved
or denied?

The Testing Support Office will send you a
proctor verification notification to the
email address you provided on the proctor
request form.

5. Will I
be charged proctoring fees?
All proctoring
fees (if any) are the responsibility of the
student. Please contact your proctor regarding
fees.

6. Is there a deadline to setup a
proctor?

Yes. Typically, the deadline for fall and
spring semesters is 8 weeks into the
semester, and for summer semester, it is 4
weeks into the semester. Please

for semester deadline dates.

7. How
long does it take to set up a proctor?

We require 7-10 business days to process
a proctor request.

8. How often do I need to set
up a proctor?

A proctor needs to be set up once per
semester for every semester you are taking
online classes. Once your proctor is verified we
will send all of your online course exams to
your proctor. Proctor requests must be submitted
by the posted deadline.
